    Recently Arthur "Boo" Radley got in trouble with the cops because he was aquanted with some bad kids. Him and the group of kids always stirred up trouble in maycomb county and one night got in some big trouble with the cops. they all had to go to court and had a bunch of charges against them and had to go to an industrial school. Mr. Radley convinced the cops to take his son home and no one has seen him since. That's what happened to Arthur "Boo" Radley.

  6. Why does the Radley place fascinate Scout,jem and Dill?

    The Radley place fascinates Scout, Jem and Dill because there was a man named Boo Radley who had lived there. Boo Radley had stabbed his father in his thigh at the house. There had been stories going around that if you knocked on the door of the Radley place somthing bad would happen to you. That may be why the Radley place fasinates Scout,Jem and Dill.

  7. What do you notice about the narrative voice and viewpoint in the novel?

    I noticed that the narrative's voice and viewpoints in the novel is mostly in the voice of Scout. The narrative seems kind of confusing but its only chapter one so it will get more understanding as the book goes on. It seems like Scout is the boys friend and that he seen and went through all this stuff with them, so now he is telling the story to someone else.

    I learned that Jem broke his elbow badly at te arm. Atticus went to Montgomery to study law and his brother went to Boston to study medicine. Twenty Miles east of Finchs land is Montogomery. John Hale Finch is ten years youger than Atticus. Scouts and Jems mother died when Scout was only 2 years old. The Radley place was three doors South from the Finchs.
